D. They all have the same number of valence electrons.
Because they get new pieces of information from experiments
Answer:
(a) The lewis structure for methylisocyanate is in the attached.
(b) The carbonyl carbon have an sp² hybridization
(c) The nitrogen have an sp² hybridization?
Explanation:
(a) The lewis structure for methylisocyanate has the nitrogen with one lone pair and the oxygen with two lone pairs.
(b) The carbonyl carbon form double bond with the oxygen causing to form three hybrid orbitals sp².
The Nitrogen also forms a double bond with the carbon having an sp² hybridization too.
For this reaction to proceed, the following bond breaking should occur:
*one C-H bond
* one Cl-Cl bond
After, the following bond formations should occur:
*one C-Cl bond
*one H-Cl bond
Now, add the bond energies for the respective bond energies which can be found in the attached picture. For bond formations, energy is negative. For bond breaking, energy is positive.
ΔHrxn = (1)(413) + (1)(242) + 1(-328) + 1(-431) =
<em>-104 kJ</em>
